Justice

Justice is the sixth studio album by Justin Bieber, released in March 2021 on RBMG/Def Jam Records and produced by a large ensemble of collaborators including Poo Bear, Jon Bellion, Kanye West, and others, reflecting Bieber's return to more socially engaged content following the relationship focus of Changes, with the album's title and thematic framework addressing systemic injustice in the context of the 2020 Black Lives Matter protests. Bieber co-wrote most material; 'Peaches' (featuring Daniel Caesar and Giveon), 'Lonely' (with Benny Blanco), and 'Holy' (featuring Chance the Rapper) were the principal singles. 'Peaches' debuted at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and has been certified six-times platinum; the album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 with 286,000 first-week units and has been certified triple platinum in the United States. Justice is the most commercially successful Bieber album since Purpose and represents the full maturation of his adult pop identity, the transition from teen phenomenon to adult contemporary R&B artist complete enough to address social themes with credibility. Justice stands as the most commercially ambitious and thematically engaged Bieber album since Purpose, and its combination of personal narrative with broader social commentary demonstrated a creative growth that distinguished it from the more introspective Changes and suggested the continued evolution of Bieber as a songwriter capable of addressing themes beyond his own romantic and personal experience.
